Gray langurs, sacred langurs, Indian langurs or Hanuman langurs are a group of Old World monkeys native to the Indian subcontinent constituting the entirety of the genus Semnopithecus.
These langurs are largely gray (some more yellowish), with a black face and ears. Externally, the various species mainly differ in the darkness of the hands and feet, the overall color and the presence or absence of a crest. Typically all north Indian gray langurs have their tail tips looping towards their head during a casual walk whereas all south Indian and Sri Lankan gray langurs have an inverted "U" shape or a "S" tail carriage pattern. There are also significant variations in the size depending on the sex, with the male always larger than the female. The head-and-body length is from 51 to 79 cm (20 to 31 in). Their tails, at 69 to 102 cm (27 to 40 in) are never longer than their bodies. Langurs from the southern part of their range are smaller than those from the north. At 26.5 kg (58 lb), the heaviest langur ever recorded was a male Nepal gray langur. The larger gray langurs are rivals for the largest species of monkey found in Asia. The average weight of gray langurs is 18 kg (40 lb) in the males and 11 kg (24 lb) in the females.
Langurs mostly walk quadrupedally and spend half their time on the ground and the other half in the trees. They will also make bipedal hops, climbing and descending supports with the body upright, and leaps. Langurs can leap 3.6–4.7 m (12–15 ft) horizontally and 10.7–12.2 m (35–40 ft) in descending.
The entire distribution of all gray langur species stretches from the Himalayas in the north to Sri Lanka in the south, and from Bangladesh in the east to Pakistan in the west. They possibly occur in Afghanistan. The bulk of the gray langur distribution is within India, and all seven currently recognized species have at least a part of their range in this country.
Gray langurs can adapt to a variety of habitats.They inhabit arid habitats like deserts, tropical habitats like tropical rainforests and temperate habitats like coniferous forests, deciduous habitats and mountains habitats. They are found at sea level to altitudes up to 4,000 m (13,000 ft). They can adapt well to human settlements, and are found in villages, towns and areas with housing or agriculture.They live in densely populated cities like Jodhpur, which has a population numbering up to a million.
Gray langurs are diurnal. They sleep during the night in trees but also on man-made structures like towers and electric poles when in human settlements. When resting in trees, they generally prefer the highest branches.
Ungulates like bovine and deer will eat food dropped by foraging langurs.Langurs are preyed upon by leopards, dholes and tigers.Wolves, jackals, Asian black bears and pythons may also prey on them
Gray langurs are primarily herbivores. However, unlike some other colobines they do not depend on leaves and leaf buds of herbs, but will also eat coniferous needles and cones, fruits and fruit buds, evergreen petioles, shoots and roots, seeds, grass, bamboo, fern rhizomes, mosses, and lichens. Leaves of trees and shrubs rank at the top of preferred food, followed by herbs and grasses. Non-plant material consumed include spider webs, termite mounds and insect larvae.They forage on agricultural crops and other human foods, and even accept handouts. Although they occasionally drink, langurs get most of their water from the moisture in their food.
In one-male groups, the resident male is usually the sole breeder of the females and sires all the young. In multiple-male groups, the highest-ranking male fathers most of the offspring, followed by the next-ranking males and even outside males will father young. Higher-ranking females are more reproductively successful than lower-ranking ones.
Female gray langurs do not make it obvious that they are in estrous. However, males are still somehow able to reduce the reproduction state of females.Females signal that they are ready to mate by shuddering the head, lowering the tail, and presenting their anogenital regions. Such solicitations do not always lead to copulation. When langurs mate, they are sometimes disrupted by other group members. Females have even been recorded mounting other females.
The gestation period of gray langur lasts around 200 days, at least at Jodhpur, India. In some areas, reproduction is year-around. Year-round reproduction appears to occur in populations that capitalize on human-made foods. Other populations have seasonal reproduction.
Infanticide is common among gray langurs. Most infanticidal langurs are males that have recently immigrated to a group and driven out the prior male. These males only kill infants that are not their own.Infanticide is more commonly reported in one-male groups, perhaps because one male monopolizing matings drives the evolution of this trait. In multiple-male groups, the costs for infanticidal males are likely to be high as the other males may protect the infants and they can't ensure that they'll sire young with other males around. Nevertheless, infanticide does occur in these groups, and is suggested that such practices serve to return a female to estrous and gain the opportunity to mate.
Females usually give birth to a single infant, although twins do occur. Most births occur during the night. Infants are born with thin, dark brown or black hair and pale skin. Infants spend their first week attach themselves to their mothers' chests and mostly just suckle or sleep. They do not move much in terms of locomotion for the first two weeks of their life. As they approach their sixth week of life, infants vocalize more.They use squeaks and shrieks to communicate stress. In the following months, the infants are capable of quadrupedal locomotion and can walk, run and jump by the second and third months. Alloparenting occurs among langurs, starting when the infants reach two years of age. The infant will be given to the other females of the group. However, if the mother dies, the infant usually follows.Langurs are weaned by 13 months.
Ramparts and the bay at high tide.
Some of the biggest tides in Europe occur in Mont Saint-Michel Bay: with an average 10 metres (33 ft) amplitude, they reach 12 metres (39 ft) in average and up to 16 metres (52 ft) during the highest tides. This is due in part to the low depth of the bay and the barrier effect from the Cotentin Peninsula. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Saint-Michel_Bay
Average weight of a Greylag goose: 3.3 kilograms
Average weight of a Great Crested Grebe: 0.9 Kilograms
Clearly a mismatch., and so it proved....
The Grebe easily saw off the goose!
So why all the aggression?

Amazingly the fast bikes average around 75mph around Olivers Mount.
It is narrow, steep in parts and has 10 corners including three hairpins.
If you fancy taking a look at just how crazy it is round here please feel free to view my video from last week called "safety bush" - it is in the comments box below - best played with the sound switched on for maximum effect.
It is a great location - and yes that is the sea in the top left hand corner.
This is not actually want it looks like. The kid is running away form the wave that is about to knock him over. Although the wave dose not look that big but because of the shape of beach its quite easy to dragged back in and as the water is around 5C° 41F° that is not a good thing.
This is form the annual Brighton (UK) Christmas day swim 2011, the conditions where appalling. So bad in fact that the event was official called off but that did not stop approximately 100 people going in watched by thousands. Quite a few needed help getting out. One person needed rescuing by Brighton swimming club members, he walked off the beach to an ambulance but needed help to get there.

You can't get their tops in a photo! More than half of this giant extends beyond the top of the frame.
We spent a few hours on the Big Trees Trail circling beneath towering sequoias along the edges of Round Meadow. I don't think I've ever taken so many vertical images in my life. I was constantly turning my camera on its side. Yet, the tops of the trees disappear off the frame.
This particular tree was my favorite on the hike. A beautiful specimen but only of average size when compared to other Sequoias.
19 January 2021: The 7-day rolling average for people testing positive for the virus stabilizes and the number of people being hospitalised with the virus continues to fall slowly but surely. The same is true of the number of people with the virus that are dying. On average during the week to 15 January 2,017 people a day tested positive for the coronavirus, that is down 1% on the week. Meanwhile, several outbreaks of the British mutation of the virus have been reported. In one case it has been confirmed that the source of the infection is people that had travelled during the Christmas holiday and not stuck to the rules concerning quarantine on their return. The result is that thousands are quarantined due to the negligence by a few. The question of how to keep out more contagious coronavirus variants of the virus is what is now preoccupying the country’s politicians. Waiting for the beneficial seasonal impact on the spread of the virus and the effect from groups immunity via people who have had the virus and via vaccinations I continue my corona walks. On display today is a pleasing urban alignment that I pictured alongside the river Scheldt – Ghent, Belgium.
From the Gunnison National Park website: "The Gunnison River through Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park drops at an average of 95 feet per mile. By comparison, the Colorado River through Grand Canyon National Park drops an average of 7.5 feet per mile."
The kayaking advisory reads:
"Expert kayakers find the Gunnison River through the National Park an arduous challenge. This stretch of the Gunnison is for only the most experienced and well equipped kayakers.
The rapids within the national park are considered Class V and some sections are unrunnable. This is a very technical paddle and includes numerous long, difficult and dangerous portages. Poison ivy is nearly impossible to avoid, and can be found growing 5 feet tall along the river.
Kayakers run the river at their own risk. The Gunnison River through the National Park has claimed the lives of even the most experienced, respected kayakers. The river's hydraulics can make self-rescue or rescue by others impossible.
The following are general water flow ratings*:
750-950 cfs = minimal hydraulics
1200-1500 cfs = River is "pushy" with major hydraulics.
1500-3000 cfs = River is very "pushy" with extreme hydraulics.
above 3000 cfs = Kayaking should not be attempted even by experts, portages disappear, death is probable.
These are general water flow guidelines. Local kayak experts suggest the unique hydraulics of the Gunnison River through Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park make kayaking even more difficult than the above ratings.
Water temperatures are cold year-round, usually around 50 degrees Fahrenheit or less. Swimming or wading is not recommended."
7 March 2021: In the week to 3 March on average 2344 people tested positive each day. This figure is down 2% on the week. It looks like that the figures are again plateauing on a level that is way too high to justify any form or deconfinement. Nevertheless, the relaxed measures on outdoor gatherings were welcomed by the general public. Let’s cross fingers that people will keep distance and wear face masks where necessary. Yesterday’s good news was that the Flemish authorities announced that the vaccination campaign in Flanders is set to move up a gear during the next two weeks. During the course of next week 97,413 people will be vaccinated. This will increase to 139,846 people that will be vaccinated during the week from 15 to 22 March. Elderly people that live at home and those with underlying conditions will be first up for a jab. Of course, all of this is subject to the availability of vaccines. I hope this time around they will have all their ducks in a row. I know these are geese…:-) Emile Clauslaan, Ghent, Belgium.

Inle Lake is a freshwater lake located in the Nyaungshwe Township of Taunggyi District of Shan State, part of Shan Hills in Myanmar (Burma). It is the second largest lake in Myanmar with an estimated surface area of 44.9 square miles (116 km2), and one of the highest at an elevation of 2,900 feet (880 m). During the dry season, the average water depth is 7 feet (2.1 m), with the deepest point being 12 feet (3.7 m), but during the rainy season this can increase by 5 feet (1.5 m).
The average for the month of November in Gothenburg is 58 hours of sunlight. It may not sound like much, but so far this year the sun shone very small - just over seven hours. This report P4 Gothenburg who studied the statistics from SMHI.
Gothenburg may be heading for a new record. The sun has been absent in November and has only been reached in 7.2 hours. In Stockholm it is even darker with two hours of sunshine.
On average, seven whitetails come to our pond every evening. One by one, they jump the fence and go down to the water to drink. They stay about 20 minutes, then jump the fence again and disappear into the woods.
This little doe is about 5 months old, probably 70-80 pounds.
The bottlenose dolphin weighs an average of 300 kg (660 lb), but can range from 150 and 650 kg (330 and 1,430 lb). It can reach a length of just over 4 m (13 ft).
Its colour varies considerably, is usually dark gray on the back and lighter gray on the flanks, but it can be bluish-grey, brownish-grey, or even nearly black, and is often darker on the back from the rostrum to behind the dorsal fin. This is called countershading and is a form of camouflage. Older dolphins sometimes have a few spots.
Bottlenose dolphins can live for more than 40 years. Females typically live 5–10 years longer than males, with some females exceeding 60 years. This extreme age is rare and less than 2% of all Bottlenose dolphins will live longer than 60 years. Bottlenose dolphins can jump to a height of 6 metres (20 feet) in the air.
This image was taken near Tazacorte on the Island of La Palma in the Canary Islands.
It was intersting to see a Remora (Sucker Fish) on its body, which may explain why ithe Dolphin was breaching out of the water to try to dislodge it from its body.
While some of the relationships between remoras and hosts, such as Sharks, Turtles, Manta Rays and Dolphins, are mutualistic, it is believed that dolphins with remoras attached do not benefit from the relationship.
The attachment of the remora increases the dolphin's drag, which increases the energy needed for swimming. The remora is also thought to irritate the skin of the dolphin, hence they may breach to dislodge them.
Hong Kong is the world's most densely populated place and it is my home. The rent is eye-wateringly high, and the space frustratingly small. It has on average 130,000 people squeezed inside. One square kilometer equivalent to putting about 900 people inside the football pitch. Their home just like the beehive.

Thanks to all my flickr contacts for pushing me over the million views mark. I've made some really great friends and contacts on flickr and a there is not a day that goes by that I don't check flickr first thing in the morning and last thing before I go to bed (and as often as possible in between) to see what you all are up to.
I've learned a lot from all the other photographers on flickr and I've been inspired to try new things and expand my skills more than a few times by my flickr friends and I thank you for that.
Happy new year to all my great flickr friends.
Average red-bellied trogon of subtropical forests. Male is iridescent green on breast, head, and back; female is brown. Namesake dark mask is usually obvious, especially on females. Masked (male) has large white tips on underside of tail feathers, otherwise dark with very fine white barring. On females, look for evenly barred undertail with large white tips combined with contrasting black face. Usually found singly or in pairs, perched quietly from the understory to the subcanopy.

Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 25 miles (40 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2019 census, the city has an estimated population of 182,437. Fort Lauderdale is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,198,782 people in 2018.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.
The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control, operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961, African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962, a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.
Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

On a typical day, Where I'm standing is full of cars and if I was standing where I was, I'd be run over.
However this day is not your average day, and 6167 is not your average vehicle.
6167 was moved from its home near Guelph Central Station to John Galt Park, to make way for expansions at the station.
6167 was built in 1940 for the Canadian National Railway. It travlled over 1 million miles in its lifetime and after being retired was brought back to run excursion trains for the Canadian National. It was in excursion service from 1960 to 1964, when it was retired for good. In 1967 it was donated to the city of Guelph, where it has remained on display ever since.
Trying to take an average photo and make it more interesting. So, I took a 3 exposure bracket and then blended them visually taking the best exposure for each area and then processed the image in Photomatix.
When I was shooting the train in my stream called CajonLocomotion I was walking back towards my car when I realized that this is the same shot that a terrific photographer that i follow named Dave Toussaint had taken during the winter. It was all covered in snow and looked like something you would see on a Christmas card.
Let me know what you think? If you have any questions about a photo just post it or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.

It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control, operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961, African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962, a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.
Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

Landscape of Tibet
Tibet is the highest country on earth with an average elevation of over 4000m. The lowest regions of Tibet are still over 2000m above sea level with Jomo Langma (Everest,Sagarmatha) ཇོ་མོ་གླང་མ being the highest point at 8848m. Tibet is covered in grasslands, mountains and valleys.
Many of Asia’s largest rivers have their headwaters in Tibet such as the Ma chu རྨ་ཆུ་ ( Yellow River), Dri chu འབྲི་ཆུ་ (Yangtze), Nag chu ནག་ཆུ་ - རྒྱ་མོ་རྔུལ་ཆུ (Salween), Yarlung Tsangpo ཡར་ཀླུངས་གཙང་པོ་ (Brahmaputra) and Dza chu རྫ་ཆུ་ (Mekong). Western Tibet (Ngari) is a high, arid region with few people, while southeast Tibet (Kham) is forested and suitable for farming. Northern Tibet (Amdo) is covered in vast grasslands filled with yaks and sheep and central Tibet (U-Tsang) is the most densely populated area of Tibet lying along the fertile Yarlung Valley.
The common name of this species is well-deserved: the Great Thrush is the largest member of this cosmopolitan genus, with some subspecies reaching 175 g, twice the weight of the average species of Turdus thrush. The Great Thrush is often the most common species in humid Andean habitats, above 2000 m from Venezuela south to western Bolivia.

It is a medium-sized francolin with males averaging 11.6–13.4 in (29–34 cm) and females averaging 10.2–11.9 in (26–30 cm). The males weigh 9–12 oz (260–340 g) whereas the weight of the females is 7–11 oz (200–310 g). The francolin is barred throughout and the face is pale with a thin black border to the pale throat. The only similar species is the painted francolin, which has a rufous vent. The male can have up to two spurs on the legs while females usually lack them. Subspecies mecranensis is palest and found in arid north-western India, Eastern Pakistan and Southern Iran. Subspecies interpositus is darker and intermediate found in northern India. The nominate race in the southern peninsula of India has populations with a darker rufous throat, supercilium and is richer brown. They are weak fliers and fly short distances, escaping into undergrowth after a few spurts of flight. In flight it shows a chestnut tail and dark primaries. The race in Sri Lanka is sometimes given the name ceylonensis or considered as belonging to the nominate.
Musca autumnalis
"Description: Averaging about 7 - 8 mm long with 4 dark stripes on the thorax. The male has an orange and black patterned abdomen whereas in the female this is a grey pattern.
"Habitat: This species gets its common name from its habit of landing on the faces of cattle where they feed on tears, sweat and blood (from the bites of other flies). However the adults also feed on nectar and can also be found on flowers, or just sunning on posts and fences.
"When to see it: March to October peaking in April and May.
"Life History: They breed in cattle dung where the larvae feed.
"UK Status: Widespread and common in England and Wales."
Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 25 miles (40 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2019 census, the city has an estimated population of 182,437. Fort Lauderdale is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,198,782 people in 2018.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.
The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began.

As its name implies, the fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) predominantly preys on fish. Largely active at night, fishing cats are good swimmers and have been observed diving for fish, as well as scooping them out of the water with their paws. These cats will also prey on small mammals, snakes, snails and birds.
This is a heavily built, medium-sized cat with an elongated head, rather short legs and a short tail. Head-body length ranges from 60 to 85 cm, tail length from 20 to 33 cm, height at shoulder about 40 cm. Body weight varies from 5 to 15 kg. Females are smaller than males. Males are about twice the size of a domestic cat.
Their olive-gray fur has black or dark brown stripes and rows of spots in horizontal streaks running along the length of the body.
When swimming, the fishing cat may use its short, flattened tail like a rudder, helping control its direction in the water.
Fishing cats live an average of 12 years, but have been known to live more than 15 years in captivity.
The fishing cat is distributed throughout southern and southeast Asia, found in northeastern India, the foot of the Himalayas in Nepal and India, and a few scattered areas in Bangladesh, Indus Valley Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma and in the Indonesian Islands of Sumatra and Java. However, these cats are not found all throughout this broad area because of their habitat preferences. They are strongly tied to densely vegetated areas near water, in marshes, mangroves, rivers, and streams.
This picture was taken in Zoo Duisburg, Germany.
Zoals de naam al aangeeft, is vis de belangrijkste prooi voor de vissende kat of viskat (Prionailurus viverrinus). De vissende kat is een wilde middelgrote katachtige uit Zuid- en Zuidoost-Azië.
De vissende kat heeft een korte, lichtbruine tot groenig grijze vacht met donkerbruine tot zwarte vlekken, die op de nek en het voorhoofd overgaan in donkere strepen. De flanken en de buik zijn lichter gekleurd. De poten zijn vrij kort. De klauwen hebben kleine, slecht ontwikkelde zwemvliezen. De vissende kat kan zijn tenen spreiden, waardoor hij zich makkelijker kan voortbewegen over drassige grond. De vissende kat is een stevige katachtige met een lang lichaam en een korte staart. Het dier wordt 60 à 85 centimeter lang en 5 à 15 kg zwaar. De staart is 20 tot 33 cm. Mannetjes worden groter dan vrouwtjes: vrouwtjes worden gemiddeld 5 à 8 kg zwaar, mannetjes 11 à 15 kg.
De vissende kat is afhankelijk van water, en komt voornamelijk voor in waterrijke gebieden met dichtbegroeide oevers, als moerassen, meren, rivieren, traagstromende beken en rivierdelta's grenzend aan bossen, rietvelden en mangrovebossen. De vissende kat is een solitaire jager, die 's avonds en 's nachts op jacht gaat.
Deze kat eet vooral waterdieren als vissen, kikkers, schelpdieren, kreeftachtigen, waterinsecten, watervogels, en op het land, slangen, vogels en kleine zoogdieren.
Overdag verblijft hij in dicht struikgewas of in een holle boomstam.

Eyed Hawk-moth, Smerinthus ocellata.
Wingspan; 70 – 80mm, females being on average larger than males.
Flight period; May – July ( in one generation ).
Caterpillar food plants; Willows, Apple (Malus domestica), wild and ornamental Crab Apple (Malus sylvestris), less common on poplars and Aspen (Populus tremula).
Habitat; Gardens, orchards, woodland, suburban localities and places where willows grow.
UK Status; Common. Well distributed throughout England and Wales as far north as Cumbria, local on Isle of Man, widely distributed but occasional in Channel Isles.
They overwinter as shiny black/brown pupae, below or near the larval food plant. The caterpillars can be seen from June to September and resemble the Poplar Hawk-moth caterpillar.
Fairly well distributed throughout England and Wales, this species has a sombre, camouflaged appearance at rest, but if provoked, flashes the hindwings, which are decorated with intense blue and black 'eyes' on a pinkish background. The ‘eye’ markings and thick black line extending down the thorax behind the head make it an easily identified Hawk-moth.
Average depth of 100 m deep, glacier water 4 °C

Not your average astro pic this one.
Strathgordon is as far from anywhere you can get by road here on the island. It has a Bortle Class 1 dark sky rating.
So with all the astro gear in the car ready to roll, it rained and if it wasn't raining it was clag.
I set up because it looked like there may be one or two windows open up in the thick overcast but it transpired to be a hoax. This is the only pic I managed to get before the rain started to fall again. In reality it's a test shot, nothing more. Thin haze still hides the perfect stars from view.
The partial gap in the cloud permitted this view of the Southern Cross (Acrux) which sits clearly at the top along with the faint shape of the Coalsack Nebula beside it. The 'Pointers' (Hadar and Rigil Kent) below to the right. The MW Core is off the image to the lower right. If you don't look too hard, it's possible to make out the shape of "The Emu" - first nations peoples' interpretation of this part of the MW Galaxy. The head of the bird is the Coalsack with the neck and body formed by the dust lanes and sundry nebulae heading back to the core.
There is a faint white star just inside the frame and just to the right of top dead centre - the South Celestial Pole is just below it somewhere. Count yourselves lucky for Polaris all you peeps in the Northern Hemisphere!
Something different anyway :-)

Description: This bird is predominantly granivorous. The beak shape is efficient in crushing and sectioning seeds, but they might feed on insects occasionally. Their nest is bowl-shaped, and Sicalis flaveola are often seen usurping abandoned nests. Females lay an average of 4 eggs, which are incubated for 14 or 15 days. They like dry lands, but are often seen in urbanized areas, preferring to cling to groups. The male has a bright yellow coloring, while the female's coloring is less saturated, reaching a shade of grey. The subject portrayed in the picture is a female and was photographed in the Santa Catarina state in Brazil. Sicalis flaveola pelzeini is one of the two subspecies of saffron finch found in Brazil and belongs in the order Passeriformes, suborder Passeri, superfamily Passeroidea, family Thraupidae and subfamily Diglossinae.
According to this source (www.wikiaves.com.br/canario-da-terra), we have the following subspecies:
Sicalis flaveola brasiliensis (Gmelin, 1789) - Occurs in Brazil in the states of Maranhão, Minas Gerais, Piauí, Ceará, São Paulo, Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo. The Northwestern males of Sicalis flaveola brasiliensis display a stronger coloring, with a bigger reddish-orange crown. The dorso possesses a few thin stretch marks and is subtly greenish. Females are yellow and possess a reddish-orange crown, which is attenuated in comparison to the males.
Sicalis flaveola pelzelni (P. L. Sclater, 1872) - Occurs in Bolivia, East of the Andes. In Brazil, they are found in the states of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. Males possess stretch marks on the head and dorso. The ventral region is of an attenuated yellow, especially on the neck. Females possess stretch marks on the head and dorso, but these are less attenuated than those of S. f. brasiliensis, and the under tail covert is colored equally with the ventral area.
Sicalis flaveola flaveola (Linnaeus, 1766) - Occurs in Colombia, Guianas, Venezuela and Trinidad. Has been introduced to Panama, Porto Rico and Jamaica. The crown is orangeish and the back slightly green with a few attenuated stretch marks. The inferior is an yellowish-green. They're bigger than S. f. brasiliensis.
Sicalis flaveola valida (Bangs & T. E. Penard, 1921) - Occurs in Peru and Ecuador. They're the biggest subspecies. The yellow is darker than that of S. f. flaveola and the crown is reddish. They posses greener backs than S. f. flaveola. The beak is bigger and stronger and the legs are pinkish. Males and females are similar.
Sicalis flaveola koenigi (G. Hoy, 1978) - Occurs in the Northwest of Argentina, in the regions of Salta and Jujuy. They're similar to S. f. brasiliensis, but the beak is shorter and larger.
However, according to this source, S. f. brasiliensis can also be found in the region, so I'm leaving the subspecies as doubtful: www.cobrap.org.br/especie/5/can%C3%A1rio.
Feeding type: Granivorous. May feed on insects occasionally.

Had an interesting read here and here on how you can achieve that smooth long exposure effect with using any ND filters. How? By "averaging" multiple images of same exposures. Since I had a lot of images from my timelapse, I decided to give a try.
This is a result of stacked (and averaged) image of 20 exposures, shutter speed range between 1/80s for the first image and 1/125s for the last image, shot at an interval of 5 seconds over a duration of approximately 6 minutes.
Now I have a good reason to dig up my timelapse archive :)
